Re: Baseball Ruling. I\'m calling for Gary Cohen\'s resignation on 660a

Cohen is right. When the LF made the catch, it was the 2nd out of the inning. The out at 2nd would not be a force play, it would have been the 3rd out of the inning. If Castro touches home before the 3rd out is made, the run counts. If he touches home after the 3rd out, it doesn't matter because the inning is over.
Good explanation, you have semi redeemed yourself.

This is wrong... right? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
When a player fails to tag up it is considered a force play, just as it is considered a force play if a runner misses a base as he is running the bases.
If it is a force play then it doesn't matter if Castro has already crossed the plate because force outs take precident and thus the run would not count.
Your explaniation is the one that Cohen was making, but that I believe is wrong.
